The description below is taken from the Airfix catalogue this kit was first seen in. There is also extra information underneath the main catalogues description including the changes to the name of this kit in the catalogues.

This detailed 1/25th scale kit of one of America's most famous vintage sports cars captures the racy lines of Harry Stutz's design. A two-seater powered by a 6 1/2-litre side valve engine, the Bearcat was claimed to posses a maximum speed of 80 m.p.h., no mean achievement for a car of that period. Chromed parts, rubber-like tyres and a miniature engine are just some of the features of this eye-catching model. - Taken from the 15th edition catalogue (1978)
